Show PECULIAR POLITICAL CdlllOi ill IDAHO Both Parties Have Plenty of Troubles, and Fight Is a Free-for-All. Special to The Tribune. BOISE. Ida., Sept. 19 Chairman B. F. O'Neill of tho Republican state central cen-tral committee has just announced the appointment of tho following named vice-chairmen of tho state committee: C. J. Shoemaker of Coeur d'Alene City for tho northern district; C. C. Cavauali of Boise for the southwestern district; George A. Day of Oakley for the southeaster south-easter district. Each vice-chairman wiU have control of the local situation in his particular locality and will bo under tho general supervision of the state chairman. Chairman O'Neill has returned from north Idaho aud ho reports conditions fairly encouraging in that section of the state. However, it can readily be sceu that the chairman is full aware that strenuous work must be dono in thfi campaign now on to savo Tdaho for tho Republican ticket. Never was there such a peculiar condition in the political arena of this stato as there is at this time, and almost anything might happen. Tho two leading parties par-ties havo troubles of their own, and tho result is apparently bo3'oud a reasonable rea-sonable conception of "even tho political politi-cal prophet. In this campaign tiarty lines have been lost sight of and the fiht seema to bo a free-for-all, but if the anti-Mormon anti-Mormon people are upheld in tho ticket contest caso and their ticket placed on tho official ballot, it is tirmly believed by conservative thinkers thai they will sweep tho stato and elect overy candi-dato candi-dato on their state ticket. Dr. C. W. Whitwell, the anti-Mor-mon candidato for governor, is one of tho most popular Democrats in Idaho and will poll an enormous vote. Tho platform ho stands on is tho best ono ever placed before the neonlc of any state in the Union, and in tho event of his election it would be lived up to to the letter.
